Scientific Facts in the Qur’an - Refutations & Apologetics Collection
The Qur’an is not a science textbook — but it contains signposts (ayāt) that point to observable phenomena and cosmological realities long before their scientific verification. These scientific verses, when interpreted within proper Usul al-Tafsir, show a non-contradiction between Revelation and Creation — a unity central to the Tawhidic Worldview.
